I know I know, we have Fanta at home, but it’s different here! Much more orange flavor, not dissimilar to orangina. My mom said she drank these nonstop when she was pregnant with me so no wonder I love pop so much! 5/5

my brother in law picked this up, seems like some kind of carbonated Arnold Palmer. Quite good! 4/5

I’m in Germany for the week so you know I had to get a spezi. Spezi is a Germany soda flavor that’s a mix of orange soda and cola, basically a premixed suicide. This one from Paulaner went great with some leftover spatzle! 3/5

which is to say, if you’re in a creative field and feeling burnt out, maybe give sports a try!

Part of the reason I’ve been so obsessed with football recently is it’s my only hobby that has absolutely no connection to my job whatsoever. After spending 10+ hours a day for the past month on art or writing or both it’s so nice to just turn my brain off and watch big men smash into each other

just think about it America!

the same time and almost
never crashed and it was called TRAINS”

I mean have you seen the switchboard they’re using?? They need the dime more than I do

here’s my other mta hot take: the fair hike is fine. I travelled a ton this year for work and took public transit everywhere I could. $3 to ride ANYWHERE in the city is a steal.

Every year I design stuff for the @waywardretreats.bsky.social welcome kit, it's one of the top things I look forward to every year. This time around I got to design a bandana, a funeral kit, and a mug. The retreaters are now outside of cell range so I get to post them. 2025 theme: Exquisite Corpse

back to using the to-do pages that @vreni.bsky.social made this week. i give myself a lil stamp once i complete a day of work. treating myself like a 6 year old is actually pretty motivating

it’s my weekly to-do, which is fitted into a template that vreni made. it shows my week at a glance and allows me to cross off days once they are done, which makes me feel better. monday has been filled out and is stamped with a cute shiba inu stamp that says “good”. one down, 4 to go!!
